How to restore album art?

We had a storm here one night, the power got knocked out and my ipod was sitting in it's docking station. When I rebooted, the ipod asked me to set it's language settings, etc. again.
As it is now, it appears to only of screwed up my album art, which only shows a little dot now where the cover would of been. I REALLY (make that REEEEALLLLLLLLLYYYYYYY) do not want to do a restore and copy all my 30 GB of songs back onto it.
Is there some way to just rebuild the artwork db on the ipod?
TIA

I don't think so...Although it'd be a hassle to load all 30GB of songs, it would be your safest and smartest choice to restore your iPod to factory settings and then go from there, though I can't guarantee that 100%.

    In the Grid view, *View > Grid View > Show Header* should expose the header. In the List view it's contolled by the size of the artwork column.

  • How to Add Album Art to Multiple Songs Same Time?

    I have many scenarios where 60-70 songs will share the same imported album art. Is there a method to add the art to the bulk of songs all at the same time. Similar to the multiple item entry field?
    Thanks!

  • Problem: How to get album art shown on nokia 6120 ...

    Hi guys, i need help once again, how can i get the album art on my 6120 classic player? any advices any ideas? i really want to get the art there since it was one of the main reasons i bought the phone, i mean the good looks of its music player, thanks in advance once again for your advices

    I just discovered that the best and possibly only way to get your album artwork to display on your nokia is to have the album artwork present in your iTunes album cover disply before trying to convert them to your phone.
    Im not sure if a similar process would work for other media players. Its as simple as copying the image from windows explorer images into your album artwork box in iTunes and then importing your files again.
    Good Luck, hope this works for you

  • *** How to get Album Art on your iPod Nano: ANSWERED!

    I'll start by saying that my iPod Nano would not display ANY album art at all, even though it did in iTunes. I just added 180 albums to my iPod, and they all showed up, perfectly. Here's how I did it:
    1) Move all the songs you want on your iPod into the iTunes music library. (Open iTunes, and drag the files over the "LIBRARY" catagory)
    2) Click Music, under the LIBRARY heading.
    3) Add the artwork to each song/album. I used "iTunes Art Importer". It's a great program, and is really easy to use/download.
    4) Connect your iPod to your computer.
    5) Remove any songs you have on the iPod.
    6) Go to the Music tab, in the iPod control panel.
    7) Sync all music files/playlists from your iTunes library.
    If you did this correctly, all the album art you added in your iTunes library should display on your iPod. Be sure to have "Display Album Art on this iPod" checked off.

    I have 2.0 USB on my laptop and pc and it still does not work. Just ot really worried about artwork ecause I don't look at it while it is playing.......

  • How to get album art on iPod?

    How do you get a picture of the front of an album to come up on your iPod when you play that album? The computer I am loading the songs onto it with has no internet connection, however I do have another computer with iTunes also that does have a web connection (but no firewire, so I can't use it to upload the songs). Anyway, is there somewhere I can download the art for all the albums in my collection and then transfer that to the iTunes on my offline PC and get it to put that album art on the iPod 5G?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Here are a couple of methods.
    First off, make sure you have "show album art" enabled in iPod options.

Go to Google Image Search and type in the artist/album name and click on search images. 

Double click on a picture you like, then at the top of that page click on "see full size image". 

When you get that image, simply copy/paste it into the space for album artwork in iTunes. 

Make sure you select the album in the browser of iTunes before you copy/paste. 

You'd be surprised what Google Images can bring up. There are literally millions, and even obscure album artwork can be found.
    In the unlikely event that Google can’t find an image, you can also get artwork from Amazon.
    If you’re happy using images from Amazon, and don’t want to copy/paste, then iTunes Art Importer is a nice free program to do it for you.
    "however I do have another computer with iTunes also that does have a web connection (but no firewire, so I can't use it to upload the songs)"
    Doesn't matter anyway since the iPod 5th gen (video) cannot transfer songs etc via firewire only USB.

  • Restore album art from saved itunes or combine 2 itunes libraries

    I have two laptops, each with the same version of iTunes ( 11.2.0 ) but with different albums. There are no duplicates between the libraries. I can save and restore a single iTunes library with no problems. I get all the albums and all the cover art. All the albums have the correct cover art. I would like to combine these two libraries on a single laptop. The laptops are running windows 7. I can take a smaller iTunes library with 39 albums and drag and drop to the larger library ( over 1000 albums ) I get all the albums, but only half or so of the album's cover art comes across. I have tried to drag and drop the entire iTunes library, then I tried to add folders to the larger library, all with the same result - all the albums come across, but only half of the album art comes across. ( I am working with a small library right now because I want to do this with another library with over 500 albums. )
    A lot of the cover art was added one by one, because the 'get album art' could not find a lot of the cover art. I can go back and manually add all the cover art again, but that is a long project.
    Is there a method that I can save the library, add it to a different iTunes library, and get all the cover art to come with the albums?
    This seems like it should be easy to do, but I have not been able to get it keep all the cover art from the transfered library.
    thank you.

    i'm using iTunes 10 BTW

  • Restore album art in ios7

    I have just uploaded more of my mother's CD collection onto her iPad and it has wrecked most of the Album art, both of the incoming albums and of the existing albums. How do I fix this, preferably in the iPad and not through the Mac.

  • How to correct album art work on iPhone 4

    On my iPhone 4 music app. I have the wrong album art work on the wrong songs

    OK Gang... Since I didn't get a resolution here I decided to forego the 30 minute hold time and called Apple support. (I was just tired of seeing Prince's face on my James Taylor album!).
    Here is how to resolve this issue:
    In iTunes, select your phone and choose the 'Music' tab
    Unselect 'Sync music' then click 'Apply' (basically sync again)
    All your music should be removed from your iPhone at this point
    Now select the 'Sync music' option again and sync again
    Good luck

  • How does the album art work?

    Hey there!
    How do you associate album art with songs? is there a naming convetion that i should know about?

    Hi Tudor,
    You need to first scan in and add the album artwork to your iTunes library before it will be synchronized with your iPod Nano.
    To do this, firstly scan in an image of the album artwork that you wish to associate with your songs in jpeg format. Then open up iTunes, search for the album, select all of the songs and drag the album artwork file into the small white box under your playlists in the left-hand corner of your screen.
    If the box isn't showing you may need to enable it using the 'View' menu (I think). Sorry I'm not in front of my computer at the moment.
    You can also quickly find artwork files by using
    images.google.com
    Hope this helps. If not, let me know and I will provide you with more detailed step-by-step instructions.

  • How to uninstall Album Art Thingy

    I downloaded an application called Album Art Thingy, It never worked so I wanted to uninstall it. But, when I try to move it to trash, it always says "can't be moved to trash because it's open" even though it's not. How can I get rid of this thing? Thanks

    This is just a thought but check your login items (System Preferences-Accounts-Login Items) and see if it's set to be started at login. If so remove it by highlighting it and clicking the - sign at the bottom of the box. Then either restart or logout then login and then try trashing it.
    If that doesn't do it contact the developer and ask how to remove it.
